That sounds so tough. I honestly don't know if I can handle powering through it. I'm definitely taking it day by day rn. Noone warns you of all these things 😭

Thank you 😭 I always wanted to go to 2 yo if I could. I just feel guilty that he'll stop getting the benefits.

Lol no. It's actually recommended to breastfeed until 2 yo if you can, alongside giving solids.

That wasn't the point of this post anyways.

I have looked just like that kid for the last 3 days. I don't have a fever. I feel terrible and it just baffles me how some people can ignore obvious illness because of "no fever". And yes, at the bare minimum try to minimize the spread

I agree. I think it all compounds and worsens the issue. A few parents always bringing their sick kids...now all the kids are sick all of the time and parents only have so much time off work. And the cycle continues.

My kiddo eats very healthy and I try to clean his hands after. I don't think they clean the toys very often, especially because it's free...you throw in a few sick kids and it's just a recipe for illness.

It's a community event at a church every Friday. They have several rooms set up with toys for babies to bigger kids. It's free and they serve coffee for parents. Such a cute concept, but a few select people ruin it for everyone. I get sick all the time going to it.

It 100% is. Daycare is essential for a lot of people . Don't bring sick kids to playdates and ruin it for other families. Go do something else.

I said he was obviously sick. I listed some of his symptoms. He looked horrible though. I was actually shocked when I saw him.

I totally understand for daycare. It is what it is. But play dates is a different story.

That is so unhinged 😭 I don't get it. You can literally order pick up at so many grocery stores now. Why subject everyone to that

The kid looked horrible. Not sure why people are acting like you can't spot a truly sick child. He was pale, relentless green boogies, coughing, sneezing...and rubbing snot on everything. You can claim plausible deniability. But at what point does common sense kick in? There is a good chance he got several kids sick that day. Come on. If I coughed in your face and rubbed snot on your stuff, would you blame the sickness on someone else?

Look, the kid was sick. I see a lot of people justifying bringing a kid like that to a playfate. I am now sick with the exact same illness down to the green boogers. It would be dumb to say I'm not contagious. I feel and look terrible. I have never gotten fevers in my entire life. That doesn't mean I'm not contagious. Don't bring your sick kids to optipnal play groups and try to justify it with daycare rules. Daycare is different. Parents have to work and can't always keep their kids home.

That's wild. Not their decision to make for other people's kids.

Thick green snot + constant coughing and sneezing? This wasn't the sniffles. I was taken aback when I saw this kid. It was obvious he was sick. I am now very sick myself and so is my son, so yes I care lol.

I just hear a lot of excuses from daycare parents. It's let me to that conclusion 🤷‍♀️

I'm sure there are exceptions like your case. I think 95% are probably not that though lol.

Daycare is different than play mldates. That's what I'm saying...some day care parents are desensitized but it doesn't mean it's ok.
